In Reply to: I have plenty of CD's... posted by Wellfed on December 24, 2004 at 09:05:42:
I sure wouldn't put them in the outlets. In a component, behind the fuse, I feel they can't do much harm. I only have them in my CD player and I turn that one off when I am not around. You can cover the caps in a non-flammable compound in case you don't feel that's safe enough. On the other hand, there are people selling line conditioners that have Auricaps in them, across the A/C.I've had mine in use for almost 2 years now.
But the warning is soemthing not to take lightly -insurance companies just love to find anything DIY'd and not installed by licensed electricians that they can use to raise suspicion that you may have caused a house fire, even if it is 99.999% certain the dishwasher started the fire (speaking from experience with my in-law's place, where they still are messing with the insurance about a fan I installed in their basement for a darkroom, about 20 feet away and on a different floor from where the fire actually started, and all on a different circuit than the dishwasher where the fire clearly originated)
So, play it safe. However, one thing is for sure - regular AC rated caps don't do what Auricaps do. Save your time and effort if you think those are an alternative that will get you similar results. Been there, done it.
